The Toledo Bee in commenting up.
on the work of the recent Ohio Re
publican convention and speaking Of
Blaine as against Sherman, the choice
Of the convention, for president in
1888 makes the following pungent OBJ
servations about the Plumed knight
and gives a number of sharp pointers
to Blaine politicians
Well, as to that, have to say if the Irish
question and the Irish vote are the main
things sought, then Mr.. Blaine had better
seek office in Ireland. This is America, and
the men on whom we depend in a national
election are American citizens. In fishing
for big fish it's not best TO cast our net in a
pool, but seek the broader and deeper waters
of the sea. For every vote the knight of
the Plume would get by direct appeal to
Catholic Irish democrats he would lose
three votes of Protestant American repub-
licans. A vote based solely on personal
grounds, not on principle, is sure TO be off
set by other votes similarly found. Mag
netic men have their good points, but while
the positive pole of magnet attracts the
negative repeals. Blaine is not by any
means as strong as he was in 1880. Those
who know him best-and the people are
getting to know him pretty well-know
that he is political Jesuit, courteous in
manner, cordial and plausible in speech,
but silent, crafty and unscrupulous in the
promotion of his schemes protesting open
friendship while stabbing secretly; keen in
the scent of money, not particular as to the
mode of its acquisition, and lavish in its
expenditure for his own political advance
ment; brainy and fertile in resource, with
an element of meanness so audacious that
it does not always provide against exposure
He was Garfield's evil genius-his detract-
or when living and most eloquent eulogist
when dead. He involved his administra-
ton in needless and distressing compbica-
tions from the effects of which the country
is still suffering. He used the power con
ferred by high official position to enforce
his private animosity and execute his per-
sonal vengeance. He encouraged his fol-
lowing of Halfbreeds to strike down Secre-
tary Folger for being stalwart, and thereby
elected Cleveland governor of New York by
a majority of 200, 900, and put it in the pow
er of the solid south to obtain control of the
executive office. He will never be forgiven
in full for his treachery, and he ought new.
er TO be. His nomination in '8S would SIM
ply multiply the mugwumps of New Eng
land by ten, and these would be reinforced
In every northern state by better republi-
cans than Blaine ever was. He cannot car
ry New York, he could not touch bottom in
Indiana, and it is doubtful even if he could
again carry Ohio. In short, he is plumed
knight who does his fighting with his jaw,
and employs substitute to incur the risks
of battle We have carried him on our
shields too long. 1t is time now to probe
him with our spears. The people have had
enough of him and his spotted record.

TIE Supreme Court of Louisiana
recently rendered decision in news
paper case IN which the following
wise observations were made upon
the duty and province of the news
paper:
"Surely newspapers have some OBJ
ject higher than mere money making.
As operated IN modern times they are
something more than mere advertis-
ing mediums, or even purveyors OF
news. They are organs of public
opinion, instructors of the people, ad-
vocates of certain fixed policies and
principles, the promotion of which
must crafty the intellectual and moral
desires of their proprietors, even if
they do not in all cases advance their
pecuniary interests. We might well
conceive that, though offered ample
pecuniary inducements to advocate
principles or causes which they dishe-
lieye, or to abstain from advocating
those which they approve, worthy
journalists would reject such PROPOSE
tions with the scorn that they de-
serve"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. Sth, 1887.
Secretary Fairchild has issued circular
inviting proposals for the sale of large a
mount of Al 2 per cent United States bonds
and 4 per cent bonds and also Pacific rail-
road bonds with rebate of 2 per cent per
annum on the amount prepaid. Explana-
tory of this action Secretary Fairchild says
he thought it the best thing he could do
under the circumstances-his purchase Of
bonds being for the purpose Of providing for
the sinking funds and the anticipation of in
terest is for the purpose of removing the sur
plus. The interest referred to in order a.
mounts to S22, ,319, 7S4 and the sinking fund
to about Sc, ,OOO, 900 of per cent. bonds pre-
viously applied to that fund The Secretary
says that the surplus can only be disposed
of through the cooperation of the bond
holders, and that if they do not accept the
terms of his offer to them, it would appear
that they are not greatly in need of money.
The Controller Of the Currency has given
notice to the national banks requiring them
to submit to him full statement of their af-
fairs at the close of business August 1st-in
default of which they will be fined and the
sums paid into the United States Treasury
1.-The purpose being to see whether these in
stituions have their finances in proper
shape to meet any requirements necessary

INVITATIONS are pouring in on Pres

he may possibly pass on his proposed

There seems to be a universal feeling
of friendship and good will towards
the President and his jewel of wife,
which is reciprocated by kindness on
their side. Leaving politics out OF

POPE LEO XIII has resolved to take

POPE LEO XIII has resolved to take
an active part in Italian politics and
organized an electioneering committee
to canvass the country in the interest
of the vatican candidates for seats in
the chamber of deputies. Already the
vatican has a sufficient number of ad-
herents in the representative body Of
the Italian legislature to make its
voice potent in the councils of the na-
tion. This plainly indicates that the
pope is as mnch of a politician as ever
and had only been abiding his time to
fight for the restoration of the tempo
raj power of the Rom church. True,
since lS70-when the pope was dispos-
sessed of his Italian dependency the
backbone of his political influence
seemed broken. But at no time had
he given up his claim to supremacy in
the worldly affairs of men and nations
and the only reason that he did net
exercise his authority in political mat
ters was because the nations did not
give him the opportunity to do SO but
managed their state affairs to suit
themselves. So humiliating was this
severe neglect to the proud church po-
tentate that he would not use the
streets of Rome for the greater part of
sixteen years. but kept close to the
gardens of the vatican. OF late, how
ever, advances were made by several
of the worldly powers, which encour-
aged the Roman Pontiff very much
and gave him hope that the days when
the soyefeigns of Europe held their
crowns at the will of the Papacy and
bowed in fear and trembling at the
footseeol of ST Peter g chair may yet
return. The first to make reconcile
